As a disabled vet I'm very familiar with government health care and for the life of me can not fathom why folks are so for it. All I can say is you better be careful what you wish for. Every country with socialized medicine is a mess. Anyone from those countries that have the money come to the USA for treatment if they can afford it. That should be all the story you need to tell.

Government mandated salary caps Are you fucking kidding me? Fuckin commies!!! ok people, the job of the government is NOT to solve every problem that we run into. Yes, there were abuses in the banking industry, this does not mean that the government should or even has the right to solve the problem. Salary caps are a sure way to drive competent executives into other industries. Soon enough the entire industry will be run by complete morons. Let us learn our lesson for being idiots. How much of the whole mortgage/real estate mess is our own damn fault for being so greedy? But we want to blame the bankers and GWBush. Well folks, guess what, we were all smoking dope to think that it was perfectly reasonable for our home values to go up 100% in 10 years. And we were fools to take out second mortgages on our homes based on those inflated values and we were even more foolish to get into all those funky loans. it was our responsibility to understand the contracts we were signing.
